    Question Do I want the Maverick 88?

    My dad is in the process of giving all the firearms that he did not renew licences for to my brother-in-law.
    One of them is a Maverick 88 shotgun.

    Unfortunately I’m no expert on shotguns and don’t know if it’s even worth having a tantrum over. Is it a good shotgun? Should I try and convince my dad to rather keep it until I can apply for a licence? Or should I be a kind hearted lady and let it go and buy another shotgun later when I start earning moolah?

    I value your opinions, so that’s why I’m asking :;):

    All the mavericks I have seen are solid serviceable guns.

    I think it's pretty much a Mossberg 500 budget edition, which is not necessarily a bad thing at all.

    Yeah I'm pretty angry about that...

    He's also giving him a .303 Lee Enfield (with bayonet and still in working condition)
    I'm super upset about that one!

    One more question:
    Where can I store the shotgun until I can apply for a licence? Police station? Firearms dealer? How much does it roughly cost?

    You should disown him and legally change your name. Do this tomorrow.

    Take the shotgun. Find a friendly dealer to store it. Will cost a bit but my experience with the brand has been positive.

    BTW does your dad know that with the amnesty he can reapply for his licenses.
